Rosalie Voitus King of Shantytown passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Stephen P. “Speedy” and Frances Yastremski Voitus.
After graduating from Jenkins Twp. High School, Rosalie continued on to the Pittston Hospital School of Nursing, College Misericordia, and Luzerne County Community College where she earned her nursing degree and became the Director of the Operating Room. Rosalie was employed as a nurse at the Pittston Hospital, and then she worked at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center until she retired as operations manager.
Rosalie’s nursing career of nearly 50 years stemmed from a heart to help people. She possessed a sly sense of humor and she enjoyed travelling abroad. Rosalie was a member of AORN and SS Peter & Paul Church in Plains Twp.
Rosalie was preceded in death by her husband Andrew King, Jr., companion Dr. Domenico Scarano, brother Stephen Voitus, and sister-in-law Joan (King) Belcher.
She is survived by her sister-in-law Mary Ann Voitus, nephews Stephen, Sean, and John, extended family, and dear friends.
A memorial service will be held on March 7 at 10:30am in SS Peter & Paul Church, Plains Twp. Private interment will follow in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Hudson.
Arrangements are by Mamary-Durkin Funeral & Cremation Services, 59 Parrish St. Wilkes-Barre.

February 27, 2025 at 12:54 pmI worked for Mrs. King at Geisinger for many years until her retirement. She was a great person to work with and for. She always acknowledged anyone who worked for her and made sure they were aware of her appreciation. I enjoyed her humor and her dedication to taking care of not only patients but her staff as well. She will be greatly missed by all her knew her.
